Thread: BLU MAGE...PATCH 5.1...HMMMMMM?

From this we can presume that one of 2 things should happen:

1. Blue Mage sees a re-work into a normal and functional job.

Or

2. Blue Mage is straight up removed from the game.

As much as it pains me to say it, 2 seems more likely to happen than 1. What will probably actually happen is that the dev team will see no one is playing it so they'll just stop doing stuff for it. I mean, they never even increased the action drop rates since Blue Mage launched if that gives anyone any idea of how half-assed the idea of Limited Job(s) even is.

Its one thing to appreciate something taking a different angle but its another when the voice for change has been consistently given and ignored.

I don't think is going to be removed at any point. Probably SE is going to finish whatever they were working on and if the numbers keep being so bad BLU will be discontinued.
